Galens Medical Society has set
a $6,500 goal for its 27th annual
Christmas tag days tomorrow and
Saturday, with funds earmarked
for the benefit of children in Uni-
versity Hospital.
The 24 members of the society,
an honorary for juniors and sen-
iors in the Medical School, will
man donation buckets at stations
throughout the campus tomorrow,
shifting their activities to down-
town Ann Arbor on Saturday, ac-
cording to Mary Lubeck, '55, Ga-
lens publicity chairman.

OPERATION OF the Galens
Workshop on the ninth floor of the
hospital is the primary interest of
Galens, according to Lubeck. Shop
operation is entirely dependent on
the Galens for funds to continue
its service of providing craft and
hobby materials for hospitalized
children.
In addition, Lubeck said, an
annual Christmas party com-
plete with gifts, refreshments
and Santa Claus is sponsored by
Galens for the youngsters. Ga-
lens also provides funds for pur-
chase of children's books and
games for general use in the hos-
pital.
Last year the drive netted thej
society approximately $6,500 after
a goal of $6,000 was set by the or-j
ganization to maintain its opera-
tions which have benefited an es-
timated 25,000 children since the
program started.
Children between the ages of
six and 14 make most use of the
workshop facilities, Lubeck said.
MATERIALS AND equipment
IN GALENS SHOP-Young patients at' University Hospital use
materials furnished by Galens Society to fill long hours of wait-
ing and recuperation. Galens' annual tag day is scheduled for
Friday and Saturday with a goal of $6,500 to support children's
recreation at the hospital.
ranging from clay and plywood to
pottery kilns and power tools are
used throughout the day in the
workshop under the guidance and
supervision of Harvey Katchan of
the University Hospital School.
Katchan uses the varied means
at his disposal in the Galens shop
to keep the children busy while re-
cuperating from illnesses and op-
erations.
Some youthful patients can
make their own way to the shop;
others must be wheeled in on
chairs or beds to take part in
shop activities.
Pride of the children at the
warkshop is "Sport," a chubby
raccoon donated by a former pa-
tient. "Sport" has a neat wire cage
to spend his quiet evenings in, but
during the day he is more often
found in the company of the chil-
dren at the Galens shop.

tion of plays.
ONE OF THE play adaptions by
McKelvey is "The Princess and the
Pea" produced last year by Child-
ren's Theater.
The cast of "The Ugly Duck-
ling" is made up primarily of
children from the Ann Arbor
vicinity. Several parts, however,
are taken by adults. Two adults
in the cast are Sue Serotte, '55,
playing the Ugly Duckling and
Howard Walker, '57, playing the
swan.

chased at Arts Theater, 209% E.

Bridge Contest
Set in February
University bridge players have
been invited to compete in the 1954
National Intercollegiate Bridge
Tournament.
In all, 600 colleges and univer-
sities will compete in the tourney.
CAMPUS WINNERS this year.
were Bob Gantz, '55, Bob Hardies,
'56, Bob Klein, and Herbert La-
vine, '56.
All play will be by mail and
will be conducted on the indi-
vidual campuses in a single ses-
sion. The tournament director
will fix a date between Feb. 17
and 21.
Hands will be returned to Com-
mittee headquarters where they
will be scored by Geoffrey Mott-
Smith, author and contract bridge
authority. Mr. Smith will deter-
mine campus, regional and nation-
al winners.
Last year more than 3,000 stu-
dents representing 110 colleges
and universities participated in
the tournament. Teams repre-
senting Purdue and Princeton
Universities won the national
championship titles and trophy
cups last year.
Prizes include trophy -cups for
the the colleges winning the na-
tional titles, one each for the
North-South and East-West hand
winners. Each of the four indi-
vidual national winners also is
awarded a cup.
T h e National Intercollegiate
Bridge Tournament Committee,
which supports the event, is a
group of college alumni and offi-
cials who are interested in devel-
oping contract bridge as a supple-
ment to collegiate social programs.

forest reconstruction will be dis-
cussed by Prof. J. O. Veatch of

University.
FUNDS FROM the sale of fish-
ing licenses and federal fish res-
toration money support the opera-
tion, and the University provides
the central office and laboratory
facilities at the Museums Annex
on North University.
Given the responsibility for
determining proper management
practices to improve sport fish-
ing in Michigan, the Institute is
presently carrying out many dif-
ferent investigations.
How can lakes and streams be
improved for fishing? What kinds
of fish inhabit our lakes and
streams, and how many of each
kind are there?
How do these fish migrate,
grow, and reproduce? What do
they eat, and what are their ene-
mies? How effective are existing
fishing regulations?
When the answers to these ques-
tions are known, Conservation men
will know how to manage the fish
population so that every, fisher-
man will get his limit.
Organized in 1931 with one pro-
fessor hired on a part-time basis.
with funds supplied by the Izaak
Walton League, the Institute now
employs a director, an assistant
director, and 14 fishery biologists.
Candidates for advanced degrees
do part of the work, and senior
staff members serve on doctoral
committees.

Prof. Losh pointed out that
any one of December's bright
planets, or a configuration of
them, easily could have been the
Christmas sign.
Star gazers tomorrow will be able
to view the Northern Cross, known
as Cygnus, as it moves across the
December sky from the zenith to
the northwest, gradually assum-
ing more and more of a vertical po-
sition. According to Prof. Hazel M.
Losh, of the astronomy depart-
ment, the long bar of the cross will
be outlined upright against the
sky by Christmas eve.
THE "STAR of the East," Sirius,
which was pointed to by the "Three
Wise Men" is the brightest star in
the entire heavens. It is found in
the constellation of Orion and his
dog Canis Major.
This star was a favorite of the
Egyptians, who built 'temples in
its honor. Its appearance an-

December 3, 1953
Dear Sir:
To you who are about to purchase your first gem.
Certainty, you have heard about quality. It seems to be a password to any
jewelry store, regardless of the general grade of gems they sell.
There are several reasons for owning a diamond. Some might wish to acquire
diamonds as a display of wealth. To most of us, however, it is a sincere desire to own
something fine. We sometimes call it "Our pride of possession." To be proud of your diamond,
YOU must know that it is a fine diamond.
Diamond values may vary from as little as $200.00 per carat to more than
$2,000.00 per carat. This will depend on many factors of quality and weight.
The qualified gem dealer who sincerely recommends a fine quality diamond is not,
by this statement, trying to sell you an expensive gem. A wise purchaser will seek the
counsel of a jeweler he can trust and state the amount he wishesto spend, it is then the jeweler's
obligation to select a diamond of as fine a gem quality as he can afford to buy.
10:32 p.m. on December 21, Prof.
Losh explains. At this time the sun
reaches the winter solstice, the
most southerly point of its appar-
ent yearly journey around the
earth. From then on the days be-
come longer and nights shorter.
